My Husband is retired but still pays union dues; because he still pays his union dues he is entitled to a Christmas Bonus. This amount is reported on a 1099-Misc Box 3. When I input this into your Turbo Tax; the system is recoreding it under Sch 1 on line 3 "Business Income". He does not have a business; this is extra income from his union dues just because he is still considered a member of the union. How do I get this into Sch 1 line "other income". ????

What am I doing wrong???? I answered the questions TurboTax asked me to.

If this is not Self-Employment, and not wages, enter it as "Other Income" reported on Schedule 1 and carried to your 1040 line 8.

Go to the Wages & Income section

Scroll down to "Other Common Income" and click Show more

Scroll down to "Income from 1099-MISC"

Enter or Edit the 1099-MISC

Enter "Gift" as description

Select "None of these apply"

Select "No, it didn't involve work"

Select "got it in 2021" ONLY, even if he gets it year after year. This is a TurboTax worksheet question to determine if it's Self-Employment income, and it isn't

Select "No, it didn't involve an intent to earn money"

Please follow the steps below to enter tour 1099-MISC:

Click on Tax Home from the Left side Menu.
Click on Wages & Income from the main screen.
Scroll Down till you see the section for "Other Common Income". Within this section, you will find Form 1099-MISC and you can enter the information accordingly.

When you use this method, it will not ask you about any business information.

That is where I entered the info off my 1099-Misc but it keeps treating this income as if it had something to do with Business. The funds received/reported on 1099-Misc was a bonus from the Union my husband belongs to. MY HUSBAND IS RETIRED (DOESN'T WORK, DOESN'T HAVE A BUSINESS) !!
